Well, either you've had absolutely no sex education whatsoever, or you're rowing someone's boat. I'm not sure which, but at 13.5 I thought you would have at least a basic idea of what goes on.

On the assumption that its genuine lack of knowledge, then there are any number of books available to tell you all about it. Check your local library. And you are on the internet, right? Well just do a google search on any sex related topic. (You see why I am sceptical.)

Yea, I'm not sure about this either; although, I do know that some kids being home schooled may not get adequate sex education depending upon the whims of the parents. Some parents get all upset with the sexed courses in schools and want to teach their children all about the birds and the bees at home yet either do not do a complete or an accurate job of it, it they even do it at all. We also have to consider the Bible belt residents who may opt not to tell their kids or to wait until their children present certain behaviors. It was not long ago that I saw a story of a teen who was relating her story on a TV program stating that she had her first period without expecting it or even knowing what was going on. What a shock that must have been. So, with this in mind, perhaps Michael is truly on the fringe.

> how much hair do you get around your dick do you think?

Over the next few years the typical male will end up haveing a generally triangular line of hair from just above the pubic bone to down below his scrotum. There may also be a narrow band of hair that extends from the belly button down to the pubic hair.

> My dick started getting big a lot lately and I am wondering why and if this is normal?

This is quite normal.

> Ive tried to stop it but don't know what to do.

There is not much you can do. These are known as "spontaneous erections" and are caused by your new hormonal activity that is taking shape as you continue to mature from a boy into a young man.

> Some of my friends talk about masterbating. What is it and how do they do it coz when I ask they just laugh.

The correct spelling is masturbation or masturbating. Look it up. It is an act a person does while alone that will cause sperm to be expelled and at the same time feel incredibly good. Doing this also helps reduce stress that you will probably be experiencing more of in a few months more maturity. I'm not going to go into detail because you can learn some more by doing some research as noted in the first post. Also, I believe this is one of the greatest discoveries a person can make and it should be somewhat of a surprise. You'll find that Mother Nature will teach you all you need to know to get started when she is ready. Just wait a few more months.

> Is this how you get a girl pregnet?

In and of itself, no; however, when your penis is inside the vagina it will be stimulated and will give up your sperm which will then cause her to become pregnant if conditions are right.

> Why do girls have big chests?

I do not know, although, every guy I know thanks God for his wisdom in doing this.

> I know they feed babies but is it because they fill up like a bottle first?

No, breasts are not like bottles.

> do babies come out the same hole they pee from? I don't get this either?

No. Look for some anatomical diagrams on the internet. Not all are for adults only. There are three openings between a person's legs: The Urethra / Vagina / Anus. Becasue the female equivelent of the penis is quite small it has not urethra so this tube runs separately. The vagina is the passageway for sperm to find their way to the egg in a woman's womb, and, for the baby to pass into the world.

> What do the nuts do other than really hurt when you get hit there?

They produce the sperm cells that pass along our DNA and make it possible for a baby to be created.

> What's a good age to date a girl?

When you can drive and pay for the date and can take full responsibility for what happens. There is no hard and fast answer because people mature at different rates.

> I've read some of the stuff here but don't get alot of it. Is there someplace that explains what everyone is talking about?

Spend some time reading the many Sticky messages on each of the forums as well as other information that has been made available. There is a lot to read and learn before ever asking questions.

In addition to the many resources on the various forums, the Board also has a whole 'nother section separate from the message boards. Look at this part. You should also do some searching on the net using both Google and Ask.com. You can also go to your local library and read from the many books they will have.

I just gave this link to someone else a few days ago. It is an excellent resource for teenagers.
